Full Description

Kevin Scott, aged 54, has been sentenced at the High Court in Edinburgh for a series of sexual offences and abuse committed over a 36-year period. The offences, which took place between 1985 and 2021, targeted a number of women in the West Lothian, Clackmannanshire, and Galloway areas of Scotland.

Scott was convicted by a jury in February 2023 on ten counts related to these non-recent sexual crimes. On 12 July 2023, he received a custodial sentence of six years and six months, in addition to an Order for Lifelong Restriction, a measure designed to protect the public from serious offenders by imposing restrictions post-release.

Detective Sergeant Lynn Morrison of Police Scotland commented on the case, stating: "Thanks to those who reported these attacks, we were able to build a significant case against Scott, which ultimately resulted in his conviction and sentence today." She emphasised the importance of reporting such crimes, regardless of when they occurred, and affirmed Police Scotland's commitment to thorough investigations.

The case highlights the long-term impact of sexual abuse and the determination of authorities to pursue justice even for historical offences. Sources from Police Scotland's official news release confirm the details of the conviction and sentencing, underscoring the bravery of the victims in coming forward.
